A very nice cruise, great service, and our guide was very knowledgeable and gave us excellent explanations about the sights and the architecture of the houses and bridges along both sides of the river. It was a wonderful tour.

Not too crowded. Reasonable prices, friendly and unobtrusive crew. Clean ship, great sights. Good, practical selection of food and drinks.

All in all, a wonderful experience: exploring Berlin from the water despite the intense heat, learning interesting facts, and being able to relax and unwind while enjoying friendly hospitality—that was a highlight of our stay in Berlin. Thanks to the crew of the bridge tour

I highly recommend a boat tour like this. You get to see Berlin from a different perspective, and the guide explained and described everything you could see on both the right and left sides of the river throughout the entire trip. It was a wonderful experience, and we really enjoyed it.

The boat ride on the Spree and the commentary were great. Unfortunately, we had to wait a long time for our drinks. With so many people, two staff members really weren't enough. However, they did their best and were always running around.

Exactly. Great service. Very clean. Seemed professional. Skilled guide. I think. She spoke nonstop in German at a very loud volume. It was mentioned in the info, so it was okay, and the German-speaking guests clapped loudly. We saw several people handing in their translation devices as if they weren’t working. I can definitely recommend the tour.

Experience Berlin from the water on a scenic 3-hour 15-min sightseeing cruise along the River Spree and Landwehrkanal.

Glide beneath more than 40 historic and modern bridges as you take in the city’s diverse landscape with a multilingual audio guide and live onboard commentary.

Spot popular attractions such as Museum Island, the German Museum of Technology, and Potsdamer Platz along the way.

Admire iconic landmarks and hidden gems from a unique waterfront perspective while enjoying your favourite drink, with waiter service (at an additional cost onboard) available throughout the journey.
